'''Basic Nuntalyli'u Instructions'''

||

This is for people trying to play the Lojban version of [[Colossal Cave|Colossal Cave]], AKA nuntalyli'u

Some of the following is imprecise because I simply don't know inform very well.  -- Main.RobinLeePowell - 02 Nov 2002

It's hopefully slightly more precise now -- Main.MartinBays - 13 Nov 2002

*  General Notes

**  Numbers up to panononono (or panoki'enonono) or so should be handled for input, and arbitrary long-form numbers can be output.

**  You can talk about 'all' with roda, roti, and such.

**  .enai works as 'but' or 'except' in English, so 'roda .enai le ckiku' should, at least with some verbs, have the expected effect.

**  go'i repeats the last action, as does &amp;quot;g&amp;quot; and &amp;quot;krefu&amp;quot;

**  You can put multiple commands on one line using .ije, gi'e, .iji'a and .i

**  .e should mostly work as expected.

**  No other connectives are likely to function.

**  'le drata ckiku' will refer to the keys your are not holding.

**  You can generally insert cmavo such as &amp;quot;cu&amp;quot;, &amp;quot;vau&amp;quot; and &amp;quot;kei&amp;quot; when they would be grammatical, or leave them out if you prefer. Be concise with your sumti, though. For example, &amp;quot;[[.i ko gasnu le nu|.i ko gasnu le nu]] mi cu dunda le lastu gustci la mikyl. djaksyn. vau kei vau&amp;quot; and &amp;quot;[[.i ko gasnu le nu|.i ko gasnu le nu]] dunda le gustci la mikyl.&amp;quot; will likely be interpreted the same way. In fact, probably so will &amp;quot;dunda gustci mikyl.&amp;quot;, if you can stomach the abuse of grammar. 

**  You can often run cmavo together (lemi, lego'i, etc.) if you really must.

**  You can order someone to do something with either &amp;quot;le cmalu cipni cu gasnu le nu vofli&amp;quot; or &amp;quot;doi cmalu cipni ko vofli&amp;quot;. Don't necessarily expect to get a reply, though...

*  Pronouns

**  Please note that these do not necessarily work the way you would expect in lojban, because Inform doesn't really understand Lojban. 

**  But generally, &amp;quot;ri&amp;quot; refers to the last &amp;quot;interesting&amp;quot; thing mentioned (either something you referred to, or something the story just described), &amp;quot;ra&amp;quot; to the second last and &amp;quot;ru&amp;quot; to the third last.

**  &amp;quot;go'i&amp;quot; refers to your last command, so &amp;quot;le go'i&amp;quot; means whoever you just ordered (generally yourself), &amp;quot;le se go'i&amp;quot; means the first other object you mentioned and &amp;quot;le te go'i&amp;quot; the second.

**  Other pronouns (might work vaguely like you'd expect) -

***  do

***  do'o

***  ti

***  ta

***  ko'a
